Morning after pill for dogs.?

Question

Bit of an unfortunate circumstance this, due to an eventful pregnancy in myself (emergency section with complications) we did not have time to get our ***** neutered and have spent the last 2 weeks keeping the dogs apart successfully. After bringing our daughter home from the SCBU, my son put the dogs into the garden and before I had chance to get out to them they had mated and were tied. I've been told there is an emergency contraception for dogs but does anyone know what the time limits are?

Please don't answer with the do good answers of getting the dog neutered now and being responsible as this was a complete accident made by a child and if you read carefully the plan was to get the dog done but circumstances changed dramatically!

Answer 1

it is given in the form of an injection,,time frame i think is up to 72 hours but not 100% effective

talk to your vet,he may still spay her  

Answer 2

Yes there is an injection that can be given to the dog. I think is about 36 hours after mating (but check this with the vet) if it just happened today ur well in time.Accidents do happen. Before I got our Saoirse spayed I had to take her for the jab twice, once when she escaped and another time when a lab jumped my six foot fence. So you should not be appologising (especially given your circumstances) It happens

Answer 3

If it is anything like the human 'morning after' pill, you have 3 days. I think it might actually be a bit longer for a dog, but you should phone your vet asap. If you phone the emergency line and just inform the vet of what has happened, he should be able to advise you.  

Answer 4

Yes, there is from the vet.  Call and ask your vet. I  think it's a injection, not a pill.  Vet can also spay her and terminate the pregnancy.

Answer 5

There is a hormone shot your vet can give her however It makes the heat last longer so make sure you supervise them at all times!

Answer 6

Call your vet. There is a shot the vet can give her, and you want to get her in right away.

Good luck!

Answer 7

You;'ll be suprised at how common this problem is and getting her neutered now wouldnt be recommended anyway.

For the best book an appointment with your veterinary surgeon. They can give a course of injection that will stop the pregancy. Some require the inj to be given at 3 and 5 days post mating. We use one which can be give anytime within 7days post mating and although this is more convenient it is more expensive (approx 45.00- 60 for the course depending on the size of dog) As with the human contraception it is not 100% effective so the remains a very small risk of pregnancy.  Also the main problem with the injection is that the injection will bring her back into season so you will have to take extr care again. Once she has settled you can think about spaying her then. I would suggest getting your male dog done as well in the future. Congrats on your baby.

Good Luck.

Answer 8

There is an 'abortion shot', but it's considered dangerous and most vets don't use it.  I would recommend that you have the female spayed as soon as you can, since you were planning to do that anyway.  Spaying in the first few weeks of pregnancy is not much different than a regular spay.  The blood vessels will be enlarged, but the uterus isn't as fragile as it is during active heat.
